The program "will be administratively costly, inefficient, stigmatizing, and prone to failure", said Jim Weill, president of the Food Research and Action Center.

As president seven years later, his proposed budget would slash the food stamp program while dramatically reshaping it to send food directly to recipients instead of allowing them to buy their own. The rest of their benefits would be provided on electronic benefit cards as they are now.

Stricter work requirements would be enacted for households with able-bodied adults to continue to receive food stamps under the "Welfare to Work" section of Trump's proposed budget.

The budget notes that the food box plan "has the potential to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse by limiting opportunities for benefits to be misused or trafficked". "I don't know where this came from, but I suspect that folks when they were drawing it up were also watching silent movies".

Boxed or canned food is typically packed with sodium and sugar, two additives that the USDA and nutritionists have repeatedly said that Americans need to cut back on.

"So many kids rely on food stamps or SNAP and I can't see changing the program that feeds so many kids without knowing what the impact would be".

A proposal to overhaul how food stamps are distributed in America involves packaged food deliveries.

The plan isn't sitting well with local food bank officials.

For instance, this could end up costing stores like Walmart, which apparently gets 20% of food stamp sales now, billions in revenue.
